Bob,
I guess "P______ M______" was too easy - lots of correct answers.
L S M F T = Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco
For anyone who is still "hooked" on these cancer sticks (My father died of
cancer), I have seen a lot of people use Zyban to help them kick the habit.
Needs a prescription and a genuine commitment to quit, but I have seen this
drug help a lot of my patients. Talk with your physician.
Warren, R.Ph.
Editor's note. Tobacco addiction is one of the strongest ones there is.
In my younger days at the Naval Hospital at Annapolis, I went into a room
of a patient in an oxygen tent. He was begging everyone who came in to
give him a cigar. I explained to him what would happen if you lit a cigar
in an oxygen tent but he did not care. He needed his cigar bad. We had to
put him in isolation for his own safety. I think most people know what
happens when you combine pure oxygen and fire. Perhaps some list member
can explain it better than I ever could.
Any list members in the Annapolis/Baltimore area know if that hospital
still exists?
I would also like to second what Warren said. If you smoke, please get
help from your
physician and quit. I want you around to enjoy your TriFive.
There was an interesting article in the paper today that said the tobacco
companies spend $22.5 million a DAY in advertising.

<< Editor's note. Anyone know if you can just take the intake and carb off
of
a 283 and replace it with
a Fuel Injection unit or is the conversion much more complicated?
BOB >>
Hi Bob, Yes, you take the intake and carb off, and substitute the fuel unit
and base plate (intake). You might need to hot rod a linkage from the
firewall, and the same with an air cleaner. You need a PCV valve off the
plenum. The fuel units also use an electric choke. Other than that, dial
in
the mixture screws and drive it. The best guy on the planet for Rochester
fuel injection is Doug Prince, who lives in the San Fernando Valley, (818)
348-6998. If you talk to him, tell him that Alan W. sent you. He rebuilds
units from all over the country. Show quality, if you want.
Thanks for your efforts in maintaining this Tri-Five website.
Best wishes,
Alan
Editor's note. Any idea what one of these units cost? My guess is they are
not cheap.

To Bud Fosdic about the 56 wheels and disc brakke conversions. The very
best
you can buy are brand new wheels from "Stockton Wheel in Stockton, CA. He
attends all the large west coast shows and used to sell the wheel with a
deep
inset for the calipers and at the same time weld a small bead on the outer
edge fpr the old style stock hubcaps to grab onto. Don't know the phone

Bob;
Yeah. I remember "Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco"
Found an empty pack of Lucky's when I re-did my house.
They were lying on a newspaper from when the house was built in 1927.
WAAAAAAY before my time!
Anybody know where I can start connecting with Nomad-ers out here in the
Denver area?
There was a strong group from the National Nomad Club, when it was based
here in Englewood.
Now they are in Nebraska, and that's a little far to travel for Saturday
"bench racing" sessions.
Any help from anyone, is appreciated!
Thanks for keepin' Tri-Fives Alive!

Editor's note. Do people who live where there is a lot of snow still have
"Beater" cars? That is cars they drive only in the winter and let the salt
do it's number on the car and then throw the car way.

<< Editor's note. Anyone know if you can just take the intake and carb off
of
a 283 and replace it with
a Fuel Injection unit or is the conversion much more complicated?
BOB >>
Hi Bob, Yes, you take the intake and carb off, and substitute the fuel unit
and base plate (intake). You might need to hot rod a linkage from the
firewall, and the same with an air cleaner. You need a PCV valve off the
plenum. The fuel units also use an electric choke. Other than that, dial
in
the mixture screws and drive it. The best guy on the planet for Rochester
fuel injection is Doug Prince, who lives in the San Fernando Valley, (818)
348-6998. If you talk to him, tell him that Alan W. sent you. He rebuilds
units from all over the country. Show quality, if you want.
Thanks for your efforts in maintaining this Tri-Five website.
Best wishes,
Alan
Editor's note. Any idea what one of these units cost? My guess is they are
not cheap.

: Several years ago, Radio Shack, Audiovox and the like offered an add-on
: underdash FM converter that allowed you to receive FM through your AM car
: radio. They only had a hot and ground wire and you hooked your antenna
: into the converter first and then used an outlet on the converter to plug
: the antenna into the AM radio. You tuned the AM to a preset area and
: magically the FM came through. The underdash portion had a small dial to
: set you FM stations. It was very simple and cheap.
: I'd really like to find another one. If any of the readers has one
laying
: around or knows where I can find one please let me know. Radio Shack,
: Audiovox, and Sparkomatic are all dead ends. Thanks. Loal Phipps

To Bud Fosdic about the 56 wheels and disc brakke conversions. The very
best
you can buy are brand new wheels from "Stockton Wheel in Stockton, CA. He
attends all the large west coast shows and used to sell the wheel with a
deep
inset for the calipers and at the same time weld a small bead on the outer
edge fpr the old style stock hubcaps to grab onto. Don't know the phone
number but information can give it to you. They are in the 209 area code of
Ca. Good luck

Bob;
Yeah. I remember "Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco"
Found an empty pack of Lucky's when I re-did my house.
They were lying on a newspaper from when the house was built in 1927.
WAAAAAAY before my time!
Anybody know where I can start connecting with Nomad-ers out here in the
Denver area?
There was a strong group from the National Nomad Club, when it was based
here in Englewood.
Now they are in Nebraska, and that's a little far to travel for Saturday
"bench racing" sessions.
Any help from anyone, is appreciated!
Thanks for keepin' Tri-Fives Alive!

Editor's note. I know hundreds of these little know facts but I only put
them out once in a while.
I am afraid a lot of list members will not be interested in things that
happened before they were born.
However for us old guys, it is a lot of fun to remember. I invite comments
from list members on whether they enjoy or dislike the trivia questions
once in a while.
